The Raiders hope a change at quarterback can help snap their seven-game losing streak.
Kenny Pickett will start in place of Geno Smith when the Raiders (2-11) take on the Eagles (8-5) on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Smith is out with back and right shoulder injuries. Coach Pete Carroll said he is hopeful Smith can return next week at Houston.
Pickett was 8-for-11 for 97 yards and a touchdown and led the Raiders to 10 points in the final 2:14 in relief in a 24-17 loss to the Broncos last week. He was the backup quarterback on the Eagles’ championship team last season.
Philadelphia lost 22-19 to the Los Angeles Chargers on “Monday Night Football” and have dropped three straight but still lead the NFC East.
